CHARLESTON, S.C. — For the eighth time this season the Davidson men's tennis team blanked its opponent, this time scoring a 7-0 road victory at The Citadel Sunday afternoon at the Earle Tennis Center.
Davidson continued to dominate the all-time series, moving to 23-4 vs. the Bulldogs (10-23) and ran their season record to 14-5. The 14 wins are the most since 2008.
The match started out with the Wildcats rolling in doubles play, tallying 6-0, 6-2 and 7-5 victories at all three positions. The No. 1 team of J.B. Gough and Axel Fries picked up their team and season-high eighth consecutive win and moved to 14-3 on the season.
The pair of Shamael Chaudhry and Ricky Saad won their second straight together at No. 2, and Artem Khrapko and Jack Riazzi also won their second in a row as a team at No. 3.
Chaudhry (6-2, 6-4), Fries (6-2, 6-0), Khrapko (5-7, 6-3, 6-3) and Gough (6-2, 6-3) all went on to score wins in singles play at positions 1, 3, 4 and 5, respectively. Fries won his team-leading 15th match, while Gough gave the Wildcats their fourth player with double-digit wins as the senior earned his 10th victory of the season.
David Hager and Thomas Mason earned the other two team points. Hager bumped his record to 14-4 after a 6-4, 6-3 decision at No. 2. The freshman Mason moved to 5-3 on the year after a strong 6-4, 6-4 win at No. 6.
Davidson continues with its four-match road trip by going up to Richmond, Va., to face the Richmond Spiders in an Atlantic 10 match, April. 1.
